MACHINE FOR TWISTING AND SETTING THREADS.

' Application filed March 25, 1919. 7 Serial No. 284,984.

and to improvements in the drying of the threads after they leave the solution and before they pass onto the winding spools. or bobbins.

An object of the invention is to permit the ends of the thread to be tied instead of laid on the bobbins, and this is attained by providing a roller frame pivotally connected to the bath which is capable of being swung out.

clear of the sides of the machine.-

' A further object 'is to provide a roller 2 frame for the immersion of the threads in the setting solution which is pivotally mounted in such a manner that the roller frame may be held in any position with respect to the surface of the settin solution, without in any way affecting .t e direction from which the thread passes over the drier to the bobbin. This is of importance as the thread is always in contact with the-drier.

A further object is to improve the customary setting and dryin means by placing it in close proximity to t e guider eyes for the winding bobbins and reciprocating'it in the usual manner with the guider eyes.

Inthe accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of a conventional type of machine with our improvements in position. I

Fig. 2 is a partial vertical cross section of Fig. 1 showing the relation of the immersion rollers to the drier and setter and disclosing in dotted lines the position of. the roller frame when it is swung out of the solution. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the bath or trough for the solution, partly broken away, Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail of the drier and setter showing its relation to a guidei Fig. 5 is a vertical cross section taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4 with a showin in elevation of the supporting means there or, and

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the por celain guiden eye.

The machine comprises vertical upright .members 1 connected at their upper extremities with two horizontal supporting pipes 2 to which are connected the bobbin supports specification of Letters Patent. Patented Feb. 10, I920.

3 by means of bolts 5, nuts 6, and clamps 6'.

The drier and setter supports 4 are fastened to the ipes 2 by means 0 bolts 5 and clamps 6. T e drier and setter element comprises a bar 7 having a concave surface, adapted to receive the drier and setter pipe 8 which may be heated ,in any approved manner, either by steam or electricity, and which is connected upper surface of the drier and setter 8 a bar 10 1s located having an angular face upon which are mounted the porcelain guiders 11.

These guiders are fastened to the arm 10 by means of screws 12 and have slots 13 in the ends of their under surface which are adapt- .ed to receive the spring eyes 14. The central.

portion of the spring eyes are resiliently held in a longitudinal groove 15 vat right angles to the thread groove 16. At the ends of the drier and setter supports 4 are mounted the rollers 17 which carry the drier and setter and which are adapted to be reciprocated in a conventional way, as by means of to the bar 7 by means of screws 9. On the pivoted lever 18 and'cam 19. It will be seen that the guider eyes and drier and setter are reciprocated together so as to guide. thethread onto the winding bobbins 20. The winding bobbins are actuated in the usual manner.

To the supporting bars 21, mounted in the frames 1, are "clamped the triangular bath frame elements 22 by means of bolts 23 and clamp 24. The ends of the elements 22 are slotted to receive rods 25 to which is fastened the bath trough 26. A rod 27 joins the apices of the triangular elements and supports the trough cover 28 which is provided with slots 29; Pivotally mountedon' bobbin 20.

. 1 10 By this arrangement it will be seen that f we are enabled to vary the amount of immer- 1. The combination with a drier and setter, guider eyes connected therewith, and means for reciprocating said drier and setter and guidereyes.

2. The combmation with a drier and setter, means for reciprocating said drier and setter, and guider eyes comprising a porcelam element having grooves and a resilient wire fitting in said grooves, said guider eyes connected with said drier and setter in position to reciprocated therewith.

3. The combination with a bar having a concavity, a drier and setter, a second bar superposed on said drier and setter, a vitl reous guider element mounted on said secsetter, of a guide connected therewith, and

0nd bar and provided with grooves and slots, and a resilient wire frictionally held in said rooves and slots, rollers upon which said rst bar is mounted,. and means for reciprocating said bar.

4. The combination with a drier and means for reciprocating said drier and setter and ide." I 5. n a machine for drying and twisting threads, the combination with a bath of a guide-carrying frame pivotalfly mounted the edge thereof, means for swinging said frame completely out of the bath, guides on the frame, one of the guides having an axis coincident with the pivotal axis ,of said frame and mounted to extend beyond the outer edge of the bath and over which a thread passes both in entering and leaving the bath, a drying and settingelement to which the thread directly passes at a certain angle after leaving said last-mentioned guide, the thread leaving said guide and passing directly by said drying and setting element at the same angle regardless of the position of the frame with respect tosaid bath.

6; In a machine for dryin and twisting threads, the combination wit a bath of a guide-carrying frame pivotally mounted thereovn means for swinging the frame completel out of said bath, guides on the frame, one of the guides having an axis coincident with the pivotal axis of said frame and over which a thread passes both in entering and leaving the bath, a drying and setting element by which the thread directly passes after leaving said last-mentioned guide, the arrangement of the guides and frame being such that the tension of the thread-does not tend to move saidframe about its pivotal axis regardless of the position of the-frame with respect to said bath.v

In testimony whereo f, we subscribed our names.
